Chad's The first thing I felt was guiltiness for still not telling her the truth about me and my brother. Then I looked into her eyes, and the uncertainty I saw in them floored me. She had been betrayed before, and she must be thinking I could do the same. But the bastard she was with before didn

Chad's POV I can practically feel Hudson seething underneath his diplomatic façade when I saw him. I pull Bella closer to me, staking my claim. I'm sure Hudson was already singing victory. With Arona as queen consort, it would have been easier to try to get rid of me. "Try" was the key word. My wa

Bella's POV Chad's newfound information came as a surprise to me. I would have never thought that Arona was a half witch. Should I be worried? With everything that Camille had taught me, I won't be at a disadvantage, and I don't want to start doubting myself. Besides, we can't really use magic dur
